Diagram: field nodes relaying data across the mesh as animated packets hopping node to node until they reach a single gateway.
Your farm is the network.
Field nodes sense, relay, and carry voice over RF. One gateway brings the whole mesh online.
How the mesh works
There is no tower and no cell plan per device. The network is the nodes themselves, and every node you add makes it stronger.
Sense
A node reads soil, water, weather and gate sensors right where it stands, on solar and battery power.
Relay
Every node is also a repeater. Data hops node to node, routing itself around hills, sheds and dead spots.
Uplink
The gateway takes the whole mesh online through a single internet connection. One per farm is usually enough.
Why a mesh, not a tower
Star networks like LoRaWAN pull every packet to one base station and top out at a few bytes. AgriMSK runs its own RF mesh with the bandwidth to carry voice, not just readings.
A lone base station
- Range is fixed. The far paddock is simply out of luck.
- Hills, sheds and tree lines leave permanent dead zones.
- If the base station fails, the whole farm goes silent.
- Payloads too small for anything beyond sensor bytes.
The AgriMSK mesh
- Coverage grows with every node you drop in the ground.
- Traffic hops around obstacles instead of through them.
- Lose a node and the mesh reroutes itself around it.
- Enough bandwidth for sensor data and live voice together.
Push-to-talk over the mesh.
The same mesh that moves sensor data carries voice. A worker at the far dam reaches the shed through whatever nodes stand between them, with no cell signal involved.
Two devices. That is the system.
No towers to lease, no SIM card per sensor. Field nodes and a gateway are all a farm needs.
Sense and relay, in one box
Sensor inputs, an RF radio and solar-ready power in a weatherproof housing. Stake it in, pair it once, and it starts sensing and repeating for its neighbours. Kilometre-scale hops between nodes cover serious ground with few devices.
The mesh, online
Bridges the entire mesh to the internet over ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular, and feeds your dashboard and alerts. Hundreds of nodes can share a single gateway.
